About Us

Bremer at a Glance

Bremer Financial Corporation is a privately held $10 billion regional financial services company jointly owned by the Otto Bremer Trust and Bremer employees. Founded in 1943 by Otto Bremer, the company provides a comprehensive range of banking, wealth management, investment, trust and insurance services throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin.

The Bremer Story

Otto Bremer created a legacy that continues to flourish today. The Bremer Story focuses on our vision of building healthy communities as partners in possibility, and highlights the contributions our employees make with clients and communities every day.

We have an incredible story that elicits employee pride, connects with clients and enriches communities. It’s the story of a self-made man – an individual committed to the long-term health and vitality of the communities that were home to his banks. But it’s also the story of nearly 2,000 dedicated employees who today deliver outstanding customer service, volunteer for local nonprofits and make investments in the long-term health of the communities where they live and work. At Bremer Bank, we believe one of the most important investments we can make in a community’s health begins with our own employees – creating an inclusive and respectful culture, providing a living wage and competitive benefits, and cultivating a diverse, skilled and responsive staff.
